OCBC launches banking app for Apple watch
(Singapore)
OCBC Bank has launched a new mobile banking app designed for the Apple watch.
With the app, users have instant access to their personal banking information, including the full list of their balances – bank accounts, cards and investments, recent transactions, and the location of the nearest OCBC Bank branch or ATM.
Customers must first perform a one-time activation on their OCBC iPhone mobile banking app before using the Apple watch app. Once activated, account information and recent transactions can be viewed on Apple watch, without the need to login to mobile banking.
The service can only be activated on a single pair of Apple watch and iPhone devices at one time and all account numbers displayed on the watch are partially masked with only the last four digits revealed. No information is stored on the phone or watch and for security purposes, customers can choose to set a passcode on their Apple Watch.
To market the app, OCBC has a dedicated product page and is promoting it through online banners and print ads to run through May 4th. Facebook ads will also be unveiled soon.
